Wow. For someone born in 1982, this sounds like a whole other era. But I have to remind myself that my kids will probably think the same of the technology that I'm using right now ("Oh dad, you mean your 'Mac Pro' only had 8 cores and 8 gigs of RAM?").
- _delirium 17y agoWeirdly, as someone born in 1981, it starts sounding eerily familiar around #4. It's very hazy, but I remember using Apple Writer II (word-processing software) along with an ImageWriter II sometime in the late 1980s to do my elementary-school homework, which sounds vaguely like that description. I think my parents were pretty pleased that I had managed to find a productive use for the home computer they bought, in an era when my dad was still using pen-and-pencil and the occasional mainframe terminal for his day job with a big engineering firm.
